Excursion to the Castle

My very last class on the Thursday before I left Prague convinced me that we should take an excursion(aka field trip in the states) to the castle. Here's some pics from the class. Thanks for taking pictures Martin!

Safely in the States

Just wanted to let everyone know that I made it back to the midwest safely. After some set backs in Chicago and Detroit, I arrived in Green Bay on Saturday evening. My flight was supposed to land in Chicago at 6:10pm on Friday and my mother and friend Jenny along with Cailyn her 4 month old daughter were waiting to pick me up and drive back to Green Bay. Unfortunately, there was poor weather in the Chicago area that forced our plane to divert and land in Detroit. After about an hour of sitting in the plane, grounded in Detroit, they finally let us off the plane because there was no way we would get to Chicago that night. British Airlines put us all up in hotel rooms and scheduled us new flights out the next day.
My flight was not scheduled to get into Chicago until almost 6 pm on Saturday. Fortunately, my mother and Jenny were able to get a free hotel room in Chicago, thanks to a kind gentleman who did not want his voucher. I went to the airport at noon on Saturday because I didn't know how long it would take to get our vouchers for our changed flights. Thankfully, I found out about an earlier flight into Chicago, that if I rushed, I could make. I made it and arrived in Chicago around 2 pm. I was so thankful to see my mom, Jenny and Cailyn! Then we loaded our stuff into the car and began the 4 hour trek up to Green Bay.
So coming back to the states turned into more of an adventure that I bargained for, but I am thankful to be back. I'm not sure what this new step in my life holds for me, but I am eager to see what happens.
